Bledisloe Cup/The Rugby Championship

Bit of an arm wrestle of a half but entertaining all the same. Saw this as a bit of a 50/50 before the game. Argentina hanging on a little bit.

@gilgamboa, did you get to see the first of the Bledisloe Cup tests in Auckland yesterday morning?

New Zealand won in a canter. 33-8 with 68 mins gone and Australia got three tries in trash time. New Zealand play a lovely brand of rugby.

They do. They’re not a big shower of oxes like England and Limerick either.

Cracking start to the Bled cup game this morning. A try each after 8 minutes.

21 15 to NZ at ht. Decent game. An experimental enough oz side with young inexperienced 8/9/10

Richie Mounga is a joy to watch he was brilliant last weekend. Would love to see him in club rugby in NH, only a matter of time you would think before he rocks up at Clermont/Racing/lá rochelle

21-15 ABs lead at the break.

He’s a lovely player macDermott. Fucking live wire, always playing head up looking to get on quick attack.

AB’s very lucky not to be starting with 14 men for first 10mins of 2nd half

The lads in the studio are sitting on top of each other. No garden furniture social distancing in the southern hemisphere.

His pass :heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes:

You’d miss Nic White though, a proper scrappy weasel of a scrum half

He has a habit of crabbing across a bit too from the base that I think a seasoned backrower is going to make hay from but that aside, he’s a joy to watch.

Mind you, Aaron Smith showing him plenty too. Some.operator

Horgan-like accuracy and distance from McKenzie there

Game over. Not keeping the wingers honest.

Ruthless.

Smith the best Iv seen

Another hole opening for the Wallabies. 57-22. 8 tries to 3.

Wallabies kick a penalty after the hooter to beat SA 28-27.

They won the penalty off a boks scrum
Quade Cooper kicked 8 from 8 solid as a rock on his return from a 4 year hiatus from international rubby

What must Gatty and his loyal fanboys be thinking when they see this ordinary boks side lose like this.

Coach Gatty and his dinosaur game plan cost the British Lions a test series they should have been winning in South Africa.

Australia edging this at the SunCorp, open enough game from the bit I’ve seen
